DESPERATE DUEL WITH DAGGERS
A remarkable duel took place yesterday in the forest of La Rocca. The combatants were Count Bertazzoli and Signor Calderoni. They are both in love with the same lady. They agreed to fight, without seconds, a duel to the death. The weapons chosen were daggers. They met in the wood without witnesses, and were fighting for three-quarters of an hour. Both were stabbed in many places, but neither could kill or disable the other. With blood flowing from many wounds, they continued to combat till neither was able to stand, and, when found by servants, both were lying helpless. They were hurried at once to the hospital and treated, but their condition is critical.
